As a teacher I have two goals: to help my students develop specific mathematical knowledge, and to help them become clear and effective writers and thinkers. Math is a language as well as a body of facts, and the ability to make convincing and easily-understood arguments is more important than any specific theorem or technique I might cover in class. If you’d like more information about my thoughts on teaching, you can read my teaching statement or just look at some of the material below from classes I’ve taught.
Current Teaching:
I am currently (Fall 2025) teaching Math 1007: Mathematics and Politics, Section 14, and Math 1231: Single-Variable Calculus I, Sections 11 and Section 12.
